Twitter

You may have noticed the little gadget in the sidebar where the poll used to be. It’s a new service called Twitter. The briefest explanation for it that I can come up with is think of it as micro-blogging. I can send tweets(brief messages) from the web or my cell phone and it’s in answer to the question, “What am I doing?” They’re limited to 140 characters hence the “micro” aspect. It’s an easy way for me to keep you updated on what’s going on without the effort of a full blog post. Twitter has a lot more features than I’ve described but that’s the gist of how I’m using it currently. The New York Times has a good article about it if you’re interested.

Bye Bye Belly

The bad news is that I pretty much fell off the wagon last week on both my diet and the exercise. The weather was pretty ugly which prevented my extra walking for exercise and the diet problem was a backslide into my old habits. I’d be lying if I denied the emotional component of my food choices and they got the better of me. Maybe it was a final blast of the winter blues due to the foul weather?

It’s not all bad news though, there’s good news as well. I’m happy to say that as of Monday, I’m back on the diet/exercise wagon so that has felt refreshing. And I’m definitely making some progress with my goals, I’ve lost five pounds. Yayyy me! It doesn’t end there, yesterday I discovered that I could wear my belt in the next notch. It’s a new belt so I was suspicious that it had stretched but I measured and sure enough, my waist is an inch smaller. Double yayyy!! I’ve gotta keep on keepin’ it on.

Work

There’s some good news to report on the work front as well. My department at the Museum is moving into brand spanking new offices this week and next. It’s gonna be a huge change because our offices were in the cramped basement and now we’ll be on the fourth floor and have much more space. The best part, we’ll have natural light! All the hallways have skylights over them and my own office has a tiny little window. There’s not really a view but did I mention the natural light? Real rays of sunlight will be streaming into my workspace. Not quite the holy grail but d*mn good nonetheless. I’m spending today packing up my office for the move which is Monday. I’m not looking forward to packing my menagerie, it’s grown a lot since the pictures on that post.

That about brings us up to date I think. Ooops, I almost forgot something. One of the wants from the previous post was “my first margarita of the season”. I had it yesterday while having dinner with Pinknest unfortunately it was on the rocks not frozen but it still tasted really good. Remember, if you visit here and don’t see any new posts then please check the Twitter box in the sidebar. Peace.
